'Grandfather' Clause for the Livestock Ordinance
Section (e) of the proposed livestock ordinance contains a 'grandfather' or non-conforming use
clause. That clause would allow livestock currently kept on lots prohibited under the ordinance
to remain but would prohibit introduction of any new livestock to such lots. The question has
come up about livestock bom to animals that are covered under the 'grandfather' section.
The feeling among the administration was that if Council is in favor of a livestock ordinance, the
'grandfather' clause should allow such offspring only to be kept on such lots until they are
mature enough to be relocated. Otherwise such non-conforming use could continue indefinitely.
If the Council agrees with that rationale, we have drafted the following language which you may
wish to add to section (e) for clarification. The language is as follows'
Offspring of livestock allowed as a non-conforming use under this section may be
kept on such lots only until they are old enough to be relocated to a site
conforming to this ordinance or outside of the city limits.
Bill Godek indicated to me he would rely on the advice of a veterinarian to determine when
young animals are mature enough to be relocated. He also stated the number of lots in the City
that would come under such a 'grandfather clause' is quite limited. Most of the lots in Kenai
with 'livestock' could keep them as an allowed use under the guidelines set out in the ordinance.
Please feel free to call or stop by my office if you have any questions.

Frazer asked how the use of parking areas was enforced currently and Graves
explained that code currently stated a person could not use parking spaces for
storage. The .problem has been when there are the adequate number of parking
spaces available and parking spaces are then undesignated as parking spaces and
deemed "front yard." The person then had been able to use the undesignated parking
spaces for storage or used for repair work which had been within the code. It was
noted there had been complaints received of this instance and that the addition of
verbiage in this portion of the code would preclude the problem.
Discussion followed regarding what would constitute a front or back yard. It was
noted KMC 14.24.030(a)(1) defined how a front yard would be determined. Bannock
added, the ordinance was written more for parking areas being abused and both front
yard and parking areas was addressed. Graves stated he didn't think it xvould be
appropriate to deny storage in a back yard of a commercial business as many
businesses use their back yard area of commercial property for storage. Bannock
noted that site plans are required and in them parking areas have to be designated
and would be referred to if parking areas were used for something other than parking.

JUNE 21, 2000
PAGE 4
Councilwoman Porter MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1864-2000 and
Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Bannock reported the ordinance was in the form the
Planning & Zoning Commission approved and noted Administration had done an
excellent job in helping the Commission through the process. He added, the
Commission held three public hearings at which there were no comments from the
public.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilwoman Porter MOVED to amend Ordinance No. 1864-2000, changing the
"20,000 square feet or greater" to "one and one-half acres" (KMC 3.10.070(b).
Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
Porter explained she realized the lots in her subdivision were all large enough to allow
(by the proposed ordinance) livestock and she believed there were some subdivisions
where people move to because they don't want livestock on their or their neighbors'
properties, however, she didn't think livestock should be disallowed in the entire city.
Bookey stated he objected to the 20,000 s.f., but considered 40,000 s.f. better than the
proposed 1 ¥~_ acres.
Discussion followed regarding listing what is considered livestock in the ordinance
(what if an animal is introduced that is not on the list) and whether a broader term
could be used, i.e. "farm animals, .... or other similar animals kept as livestock." Graves
noted, he tried to give as much definition to the ordinance in order to defend it if
needed in the future.
Frazer stated he didn't feel livestock belonged in residential lots in the city, except
some of the rural residential lots of 1 ¥, acre or greater. He suggested an ordinance be
put in place to regulate livestock and wild animals and didn't believe the proposed
ordinance was strong enough. He suggested lot size at 1 ¥~ acres or larger and
applicable Only in rural residential areas and no minimum lot size in any other
residential zone. Frazer also stated his objection to having paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2)
included in the ordinance as it would allow livestock in any area of the city because a
person owns two lots. If a person wanted to have livestock on their property, he
should make application for a conditional use perm/t. Frazer stated he would vote in
favor of the ordinance as it was better than none, but wanted the ordinance returned
to council for review in one or two years.
Swamer stated she would like the square footage to be closer to one acre and agreed
having livestock on smaller lots was a problem. She also stated her desire to have the
ordinance returned to council for review in one or two years.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Williams stated he did not support enlarging the square footage more than 20,000 s.f.
It was noted Animal Control received apprommately 20 complaints a year; most were
care and keep concerns. Williams added, he thought in a community the size of
Kenai, and with the small amount of complaints, a hvestock ordinance wasn't needed.
Swarner stated she had comments from citizens who did not want livestock on small
lots, however she was glad there was allowances .or 4-H projects.
Animal Control Officer Godek was asked what size lot he believed would be adequate
and he answered 20,000 s.f. in a rural residential subdivision though he did not know
if it would be enough for a residential suburban subdivision. He noted a lot of the
success of keeping the animals is the owner's ability to give the animal(s) proper care.
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT:
Councilman Moore stated he would support Porter's amendm .,ut and "oted, if keeping
livestock is desired by a property owner, a conditional use permit coma be requested.

Councilman Bannock MOVED to add "this ordinance as written will come back to the
council in 24 months." Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the notion.
Bannock explained he told the Planning & Zoning Commission he would support it
with that added to it. Because a livestock ordinance is new to Kenai, he believed the
ordinance had merit. He urged council to pass the ordinance and that there would be
time in two years for council to identify if it was a good or bad idea and take further
action if desired. He noted, he wanted the review phrase to be included in order that it
be forced to return to council for review.

Williams stated he would not support the amended ordinance as he felt the 1 ¥~ acre
was too large. Bookey stated he agreed and wouldn't support the ordinance. He noted
requiring 1 ¥~ acres would eliminate 95% of the properties in the city. Bannock stated
research done by Commissioner Bryson indicated 83% of the lots in the city would fall
under the 1 ¥~ acre requirement.
Moore asked, if passed, would the ordinance preclude having livestock if a property
owner received a conditional use permit. Administrative Assistant Kebschull
answered, no conditional use permits were available for livestock.
Porter noted there were no public comments for or against the ordinance and there
had been plenty of time for people to learn about the proposed ordinance. Williams
suggested that if the recent article in the paper, etc. had said 1 V2 acres instead of
'20,000 s.f., there might have been public comments.
Discussion followed regarding the ability to acquire conditional use permits to allow
for livestock. It was suggested the ordinance be tabled and returned to Planning &
Zoning to consider including wording to allow requests for conditional use permits.
Ed Goggia -- Questioned whether allowance was given for 4-H projects in the
ordinance and Porter noted there was.
MOTION TO TABLE:
Councilman Frazer MOVED to table the ordinance and return it to the Planning &
Zoning Commission to rewrite it and include an option for a conditional use permit.
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.

SUBJECT:
Livestock Ordinance
At the June 28th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting the Livestock Ordinance was
placed on the agenda as a discussion item. The Commission had been provided a cover
memo explaining Council's action at the June 21 st Council meeting. The memo (copy
attached) noted that Council had questioned if the ordinance should include the number
of livestock allowed per lot. There were four members present. The tbur members
(Glick, Goecke, Nord. and Jackman) decided to review Council's request, make
recommendations, and not to wait for a full Commission to discuss the item.
The recommended changes were as follows'
· Section (b)--reduce lot size to 1 1/4 acres.
Section (b)---Delete "On lots containing two-family or multiple family dwelling
units, no livestock shall be allowed on lots containing less than 18,0000 square
feet per dwelling unit."
· Section (c)--Add rabbit.
Let me know if further action is needed at the Planning Commission level.
Kebschull noted that staff recommended the final plat show the distance from the
structure on Lot 6 to the side lot line to assure an encroachment did not exist.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Commissioner Nord MOVED to amend the main motion that the final plat show the
distance from the structure on Lot 6 to the side lot line to verify that an encroachment
does not exist. Motion SECONDED by Commissioner Jackman.

5-a. Livestock Ordinance - Discussion
Kebschull brought attention to the memo in the packet that included changes made
by Council to the proposed livestock ordinance. Kebschull suggested a work session
be tentatively scheduled for after the next regular meeting to discuss the ordinance
when there should be a full Commission.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the ordinance. Jackman was adamant that
she didn't want another work session on the ordinance as she felt it had been
discussed enough and it just needed to be voted upon. Goecke agreed but made the
following comments on Council's changes.
· Put rabbits back on the list of animals not allowed in certain zones and
the number be limited to one or two. If two, then they should be of the same sex. If
not, one should be spayed or neutered.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
JUNE 28, 2000
PAGE 3
The f~rst paragraph of Item (d)(2) should be included in item (g).
Suggested the individuals wanting livestock should bear the
responsibility of posting a sign in their yard to notify the neighbors of their intent.
Wanted the perm/t for the 4-H, Future Farmers of America or Boy/Girl
Scout groups to be limited to one year rather than two.
Wanted the words "leased by" removed from Item (d)(3).
Another lengthy discussion ensued and Kebschull pointed out that' it was illegal to
require that 100% of the neighbors be in agreement. She noted, it was a ruling from
the courts, therefore the City has to advertise and the applicant must go through the
conditional use permit process. Kebschull also noted that Mayor Williams commented
that if the local paper put more detail on the ordinance perhaps the citizens would
have had more of an interest. Kebschull reiterated that she felt another public hearing
should be held.
A motion was offered to postpone the discussion until the next meeting when a full
commission would be presented. With no second to the motion, the motion died.
Kebschull reminded the Commission that the issue was on the agenda for discussion
purposes only and not for action. After additional discussion it was decided that
Kebschull would ask the Attorney if another public hearing was legally necessary. The
following recommendations will be forwarded to Council:
Rabbits be put back on the list of livestock prohibited in certain zones.
· Item (b), the lot size be changed to 1.25 acres and the second sentence
be remyved in its entirety.
It was agreed that City Council would revisit the ordinance within 24
months but the Planning and Zoning Commission would not be required to do the

ITEM 4:
PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Sunny Ogal -- Skateboard Park
Gus Ogal, Hugh Winston, Justin Lee spoke to the Commission, expressing their desire
for the development of a skateboard park in the City. They noted the following:
A designated area for skateboard enthusiasts to use would be a good
diversion from them using parking lots, etc. where they are not necessarily welcome;
The old high school hockey rink would be an acceptable size area, would
be close by, and allow an area to move ramps into different configurations (Frates
noted there had been discussions with KCHS regarding the possible relocation of the
hockey rink to the multi-purpose facility area);
· There are approximately 150 skateboarders in the Soldotna/Kenai/
Nikiski area who would be potential users of such a facility.
A long discussion followed where the Commission pointed out development of a park
would be costly and the group should consider organizing their desires; formulating a
presentation to make to council; taking into consideration whether a fee should be
collected; how to ra/se funding; that the rink could be used by roller blade and bikers
too; that policies would be placed on the use of city property {wearing helmets, shared-
use etiquette, etc.}; moveable ramps would have to be rearranged by city personnel
only, etc. It was also suggested the group circulate a survey and gather signatures of
prospective users to better indicate community interest.
It was also noted fiberglass and wooden modules could be purchased; that there are
people in the community who may be interested in sponsoring the purchase of a ramp;
that the user group needs to get parental involvement; and that it would be a summer-
use only facility due to the old hockey rink need to 'be used as a back-up rink for
hockey. Frates offered the use of the Teen Center for a meeting place of the user
group, if needed. It was also suggested the group talk with the Police Department to
get advice of an area in the city where they could skateboard.
ITEM 5:
OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Bernie Huss/Ryan's Creek
Frates reported the exercise equipment had been moved from the park and was now
situated at the Oiler's Park. It was reported the company cutting the grass at the
Trading Bay Professional Building was dumping the clippings on the trail at the park
and Frates stated he would contact the company about it. Frates also noted cleaning
Ryan's Creek was a major project, but that it looked much better.
Frates reported he spoke with Ryan Green who was still pursuing the placement of
playground equipment toward the middle of the park. The Commission agreed, due to
past problems of vandalism, etc., it would be better not to put playground equipment
in the park or to start by placing a picnic table or some benches to test whether they
would be safe.
Discussion-- Little League Fields
Frates reported the Kenai Little League would be hosting its first Little League
Tournament since the 1980's.
ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINF~S
Discussion -- East End Trail/Playground Equipment
Frates reported the equipment had been relocated and the group from Phillips did a
fabulous job in putting in a trailhead and small parking area. Eight pieces of
equipment from the Huss trail would be placed there. Some equipment will be placed
at the other end of the trail next year and mile markers will be placed to indicate the
areas of the trail which are handicap-accessible.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 6, 2000
PAGE 2
Discussion followed regarding people attending the Oiler's games and parking in the
tra/1 parking area instead of the Oiler parking lot. It was suggested a sign stating "East
End Trail Parking Only" should be placed at the trailhead, although it was noted it
would be hard to police.
The Commission reviewed the Teresa Wemer-Quade letter distributed at the beginning
of the meeting. It was noted the playground equipment had been placed in the late
1970's, however there was no history of why it was placed there, etc. and the area was
not an official city park. It was also noted it was not a safe area for a playground due
to the proximity of the golf course. Frates reported he wanted to remove the
playground equipment due to safety concerns. It was suggested the Oiler's include
funds in their budget to place playground equipment in their parking lot and, because
it is difficult to maintain the current parks, it was not a good idea to take on more
responsibility. It was also noted that if there is community interest in having a
playground developed in that area, the users should address their desires to the
council and that the school grounds are nearby and available for use.
MOTION:
Commissioner Wisniewski MOVED to remove the playground equipment from the area
discussed due to safety reasons. Commissioner Gifford SECONDED the motion. There
were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion -- Leif Hansen Memorial Park Policy/Procedures
Frates explained the problems arising more frequently from family and friends leaving
other plant material, trinkets, pinwheels, windsocks, etc. by memorials at the Park and
that he would like to have a policy that would justify his removing the items if the issue
arose. Discussion followed whether the purchasers of the memories should be notified
of the change in the policy. Clerk Freas explained it would be difficult to contact all the
purchasers as some had moved from the area and it was not always known who the
relatives are who could be notified. She also noted, when someone purchases a
memorial space and planting, a copy of the policies and procedures are given to the
buyer.
MOTION:
Commissioner Castimore MOVED to adopt the recommended amendment in the policy
and Commissioner Sandahl SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
It was noted the Beautification Committee also suggested placement of a bronze sign
noting the background of the Park and placed in the rose garden area. The
Commission suggested a simple sign be placed at the entry of the Park on Frontage
Road to note the policy and who to contact if there are questions.

two years to one and the livestock ordinance developed by the Planning & Zoning
Commission had come forward to council for public hearing on June 21. He reviewed
the amendments made to the ordinance by council and the Commission and reported

similar comments were made at the council meeting by Mrs. Monfor who suggested
either enlarging the greenhouse and hiring a horticulturist or use the greenhouse to
hold plants and purchase the plants from local nurseries. Frates stated he would be

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION VACANCY
Because of absences of Planning & Zoning Commissioner Gough to a number of
meetings, Vice Mayor Swarner requested I send a letter to Mr. Gough noting the
absences and ask whether he wished to continue on the Commission or if his work
schedule or other responsibilities precluded him from attending the meetings. That
letter was sent on June 30. To date, I received no response and Mr. Gough was
absent for the July 12 Commission meeting.
This morning I discussed the matter with Mayor Williams and indicated Mr. Gough
had missed five of the last seven Commission meetings. Mayor Williams directed me
to write a letter to Mr. Gough and thank him for his service. In doing that, you have
one vacancy on the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Christine Monfor-- Miscellaneous Observations
Monfor explained she had lived in Kenai for many years and was a former council
member. Presently she resides north of Kenai during the summer and fall and out of
state during the winter. Monfor commented on the following items:
· She was very pleased with the condition of sand dunes along the beach
and felt it was because of the actions taken to accommodate the dipnet fishery. She
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 5, 2000
PAGE 2
noted she was still concerned with the south side of the River and hoped the city
would accommodate the people using that area for dipnetting with dumpsters and
port-a-potties.
· She suggested council discuss the institution of a policy for when
watering, yard maintenance, etc. begin in the spring and to consider contacting
business owners and civic groups to partner in beautification of the city by
maintaining the yards in front of their businesses and adopting other areas, of town
and perhaps the Hansen family and/or Boy Scout Troops maintain the Boy Scout
Park.
· She suggested the city either enlarge its greenhouse and hire a
horticulturist to be involved with raising the flowers for the flowerbeds and planters or
use the present greenhouse as a holding area and purchase the plants from local
suppliers. She also suggested the flower boxes be refinished and suggested using
native wildflowers at the Scout Park which would cut down on cost and care.
She stated she was excited to learn the airport would be getting new
carpet and flooring. Noting the airport had its own funding, she suggested the curbs
be replaced and the striping of the crosswalks, etc. be repainted.
She stated the City of Kenai should watch closely the future of the
Economic Development District and suggested the city institute its own economic
development group to work together in promoting the city and bringing businesses to
the city.
· She congratulated the city council and staff in their hard work and
efforts and keeping the mill rate low. She noted she was still very proud to be a part of
the community.
Monfor distributed pictures she took of the City of Kenm and City of Anchorage beds
and planters. Councilman Bookey reported the council was aware of her concerns
and described the State's paving projects to be done through the city during the
summer.

There were no public comments. Councilman Bannock reported the Planning &
Zoning Commission granted a side-yard encroachment permit which was then
appealed by administration. He stated he would vote against the motion because he
felt the Commission handled the matter appropriately and that the property owner
was being forced into purchasing the property. When asked if he would rather the
matter go to a Board of Adjustment hearing, Bannock answered no, and that he would
rather the appeal be withdrawn and allow the Commission's decision stand.

ITEM D:
COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS
D-1. Council on Aging-- Councilman Moore reported he attended the
meeting for Councilwoman Porter. Although there was no quorum for a meeting, there
was a large group of seniors attending and a work session was held during which a
presentation was heard regarding assisted living facilities; their trends, costs, available
grant funding, etc.
Senior Director Kelso added there were many seniors in the community who had
expressed their concern no assisted living facilities were available in the community.
They are interested in a facility much like Vintage Pointe that would offer a higher level
of care.
Kelso also thanked Councilwoman Porter, former Councilwoman Monfor, and Clerk
Freas for their supplying pies for the Senior Center's Fourth of July pie sale.
It was noted several applications were included in the packet to fill vacancies on the
Council on Aging and appointments would be held until the next council meeting.
D-2. Airport Commission -- Swarner reported the next meeting was
scheduled for July 13, 2000.

D-3. Harbor Commission -- Bookey reported the next scheduled meeting was
July 10, but administration had no agenda items for discussion.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED to cancel the July 10 meeting of the Harbor Commission
and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
D-4. Library Commission -- Moore reported the July meeting had been
cancelled. The August meeting was scheduled for August 1, 2000. Because he would
not be able to attend the August meeting. Moore requested another council member
attend.
D-5. Parks/k Recreation Commission -- Frazer reported the next meeting
was scheduled for July 6, 2000. Parks &, Recreation Director Frates reported he had
been involved with representatives from other city departments in planning for the
upcoming dipnet fishing season. From those discussions, they would be placing
additional dumpsters and port-a-potties at the Spruce Street beach. He noted, the
parking spaces were being striped and signage placed and with Parks and Police
Department summer staff, they felt the city was ready for the season.
Frates also reported the group addressed the south side of the fiver and concluded
that area would be handled as it had been last year. He noted, they found it was
better not to place a dumpster in that area because people then cam'ed their own
trash off the beach instead of piling it up around full dumpsters.
D-6. Planning/k Zoning Commission -- Bannock noted the minutes of the
June 28 meeting were included in the packet for review.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees

La Shot: Senior Center Carport -- La Shot explained there was $20,000 placed in
the budget for raising the carport roof at the Senior Center to accommodate the new
van and now it was thought the money would be better spent by removing the
walkway roof and putting in a snowmelt system in a new slab. He noted, the building
roof would still extend out far enough to give rain/snow protection. Senior Center
Director Kelso stated she thought there could be problems esthetically with removing
the roof, but really liked the heated concrete plan. She thought it would be a good
compromise.
Swarner stated her objections, explaining the removal of the roof would eliminate the
wind and ram/snow protection. Moore stated concern the heated pavements were not
always successful. La Shot stated the city had had good experience with them and he
felt raising the roof would make a bigger problem with ice and snow.
La Shot noted the estimate for removing the roof, repairing the walkway roof, and
replacing the slab was $18,000. Bookey requested estimates for both the walkway
roof removal, etc. and raising the walkway roof. Frazer requested an estimate for
raising the roof and replacing the slab with the heated slab. Administration was
requested to bring the cost information back for the next council meeting.

ITEM J:
DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
Barry Eldridge, 2679 Bowpicker Lane, Kenai. Eldridge explained he had read the
newspaper articles regarding the livestock ordinance and was concerned the council
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 5, 2000
PAGE 11
was taking on a "big brother" attitude in implementing the ordinance. He noted, he
felt the citizens of Kenai should be able to have animals if they felt they had adequate
room for them and that one-quarter acre was sufficient space. Eldridge also stated he
felt the ability to get a conditional use permit was also intrusive. He noted, the
alternative for property owners was to have an active homeowners' association to
enforce the convenants of their subdivision.
Bannock explained that currently the city had no avenue to control/manage livestock
problems and council was trying to satisfy the needs of the livestock owners and the
property owners.
Bob Peters -- Old Town. Stated he believed the city looked great and suggested the
city contact the Scout Troop leaders and the Hansen's to suggest they be in charge of
watering, weeding, etc. at the Erik Hansen Scout Park. He added, he liked the idea of
delegating the responsibility of maintaining (water, mowing, weeding, etc.) frontage to
the business owners.
J-2. Council
Bookey-- Thanked the Police Department and dispatchers for doing an
excellent job in handling a situation in which he was involved.
Moore -- Stated he would be absent for the August 2 council meeting.
l~annock-- No comments.
Frazer -- Stated he thoroughly enjoyed the B-17 and B-24 air show and hoped
it was so successful the Coilings Foundation would return again next year. He also
thanked the community involvement in developing the air show.
Swarner-- Stated she was aware the Fourth of July parade was a responsibility
of the Chamber, but had heard complaints of not enough restroom facilities during the
Fourth of July parade. She suggested additional port-a-potties be made available next
year. Parks Director Frates stated he had received no complaints or comments.
Frates also announced an open house was planned for July 8 at the Recreation Center
to celebrate its 20th anniversary and invited council and the community to attend.

STATEMENT OF POLICY AND PROCEDURES/LEIF HANSEN
MEMORIAL PARK-- AMENDMENT
More and more there have been family members and friends who are leaving
miscellaneous items (trinkets, windsocks, mementos, additional plant material, etc.)
by and on some of the plaques and plantings at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park.
Currently, the policies and procedures for the Park do not address removal of the
items by the Parks Department.
The Beautification Committee discussed the matter and to better addr'ess it, suggested
an amendment to Item 2, on the first page of the Policies. The Parks & Recreation
Commission also discussed the matter and agreed with the amendment and also
suggested an unobtrusive sign be placed at the Park to inform the public of the policy.
The amendment would allow the Parks Director to remove any items not approved by
council.
Does council approve the amendment to the policy?
STATEMENT OF POLICY AND PROCEDURES
LEIF HANSEN MEMORIAL PARK
The City of Kenai, acting upon the wishes of the public, established a park whereby the
community is able to have planted a tree, shrub, or flowers in memory of a loved one,
either living or passed. The park was named for a young man who contributed much
to the community, however, the park is open for anyone desiring to commemorate their
own loved one.
The City Council hereby establishes Policies and Procedures for the implementation of
the planting of the park to ensure the longest life of the planting and the uniform
distribution which will enhance the individual material planted and the park as a
whole.

Investment Report
At June 30, 2000 the City had investments with a market value of $33,619,444.65. The
portfolio yield was 6.02% which is up from 5.93% last quarter. The breakdown of types
of investments held is:
US Agency Securities
AML Investment Pool
Certificate of Deposit
Repurchase Agreements
$31,975,668.00
$ 876,341.84
$ 94,572.OO
$ 672,862.81
The Federal Reserve Board has been increasing short term interest rates; however
they did not make any changes in June, which may signal an end to the Fed actions for
the time being. There was only about $600,000 in new investments during the quarter.
Turnover of investments will be much less frequent since allowable maturities have
been increased. A local broker was used to purchase a six month certificate of deposit
which is FDIC insured.
My base strategy of investing these funds is to buy and hold. As cash is available I
invest it at the b~st rates available within the tim frames necessary to meet cash flow
needs. On a very infrequent basis I sell a security to increase yield by purchasing
another higher yielding investment. If you have any questions or comments about the
City's investments please contact me. A copy of the portfolio is attached.

Re: Kenai Municipal Airport ACIP
Dear Mr. Lovett:
Attached is the revised ACIP Program for the Kenai Municipal Airport. I have provided two
programs reflecting the different funding possibilities.
As a result of information provided in your May 25 e-mail, I have deleted the Engineering
consultant work and replaced it with the Design and Engineering work for the Runway 1-19
Extension and Safety area. This change is also as a result of Airport Certification Safety
Inspector David Wahto's letter of May 10 noting deficiencies in the safety area north of Runway
1-19.
Thank you for your time and cominued assistance.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Cronkhite
Airport Manager

*******New Drilling Platform Set Up In Cook ****************************
Forcenergy successfully installed its new platform, Osprey, near the West Forelands in Cook Inlet on
June 28. The installation marks the first time since 1986 that a company has put a new exploratory and
drilling rig in Cook Inlet. The platform has been placed in the company's
Redoubt Shoals prospect and could produce as much as 25,000 barrels of oil per
day, along with 4.3 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The numbers
represent a significant increase in the inlet's current oil production rate of
32,000 barrels per day. The drilling equipment will be installed on the platform
this summer and exploratory drilling could take place as early as September. If
the exploratory work is successful, production on the platform could begin near
the end o£ 2001.
Gary Carlson, Forcenergy vice-president for Alaska operations, spoke to the
Cook Inlet RCAC's Prevention, Response, Operations, and Safety Committee
recently. Carlson explained that the construction of the platform was an
international effort, with work taking place in Anchorage, South Korea, and
Port Graham. He said Forcenergy has a strong local-hire program and most of
the subcontractors who have worked on the project have been Alaskan
residents. Carslon said approximately 55 jobs will be filled during the exploratory drilling phase. If the
platform moves into the production phase, some 20 permanent positions would be created.
*******Task Force on Motorized Oil Transport***************************
Cook Inlet RCAC Executive Director James E. Carter, Sr. has been appointed to the Task Force that
will make recommendations to the legislature on spill prevention and response requirements for non-
tank vessels greater than 400 gross tons. The Task Force will also address regulations required for
trains that carry oil. The Task Force was set up under the auspices of Senate Bill 273. The legislation
requires the Task Force to determine how to implement response planning standards for motorized oil
transportation in a practical and cost-efficient manner.
The Task Force consists of nineteen people representing the Coast Guard, shipping industry, oil spill
response cooperatives, commercial fishing interests, marine pilots, regional citizen advisory councils,
the Alaska Railroad, cruise ship industry, crude oil industry, and noncrude industry.
Senator Dine Pearce, Representative Pete Kott, and Department of Environmental Conservation
Commissioner Michele Brown will also sit on the Task Force Steering Committee, with Commissioner
Brown serving as the Task Force Chair. Ex Officio members of the Task Force include Representative
Joe Green, Representative Beth Kermlla, and Representative Andrew Halcro.
The initial Task Force meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. on July 11, 2000 at the Legislative Information
Office, 716 West 4th Ave., 2n° Floor, Anchorage.
The Task Force is slated to have a draft report completed by December 1, 2000. A final report will be
presented to the Legislature in January 2001.
*******Geographic Response Strategies Update******************************
Geographic Response Strategies (GRS) for Central Cook Inlet have been drafted and sent to the Cook
Inlet Subarea Committee for review. The document will also be put out for public comment before
eventually being adopted into the Cook Inlet Subarea Plan.
The draft represents over a year of work by a group that consisted of representatives from industry,
state and federal agencies, and regional citizens advisory councils. The working group identified 22
sites Within Central Cook Inlet that will have a GRS in place. The sites were chosen based on
environmental sensitivity, risk of oil spill impact, and the ability to protect the site.
Each GRS contains valuable information that will allow responders to act quickly and efficiently in the
event of an oil spill. The document includes maps, charts, photos, a list of sensitive resources, and local
knowledge. Also included in each GRS is information about prevailing tidal and wind conditions. The
document outlines appropriate response techniques and how to access the site and implement the
technique.
The current version of the Central Cook Inlet GRS can be viewed on the Intemet at:
http ://www.pwsrcac.org/CCIGRS/CCIGRDmenu.html
With the completion of the Central Cook Inlet GRS document, attention is now being focused on
continuing the process for Lower Cook Inlet. Representatives from the Cook Inlet and Prince William
Sound RCAC's met recently with officials from the Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation to
discuss a possible timeline for GRS work in the Lower Inlet.
*******Arctic and Marine Oil Spill Program (AMOP)Technical Seminar ********
Cook Inlet RCAC projects were highlighted at the recent AMOP conference that was held in
Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 14-16. The conference is organized by Canada's environmental
agency, Environment Canada. The forum is an oppommity for researchers, scientists, students and
consultants involved in the field of arctic marine oil spills to share information on the latest
developments in oil spill assessment, clean-up, and control.
Cook Inlet RCAC's work on Geographic Response Strategies was featured in a presentation at the
seminar. Consultant Tim Robertson and CIRCAC Project Coordinator Rory Dabney provided an
overview of the process that was used to develop the Central Cook Inlet GRS document. One of the key
points of the presentation was that in order to be successful, the GRS process needs the participation of
all involved parties, including industry, citizen groups, and trustee agencies.
The work of the Cook Inlet RCAC's Environmental Monitoring Program was featured in the Poster
Presentations that were on display at the seminar. The poster, Monitoring the Distribution,
Concentration, and Potential Effects of Petroleum Contaminants in Cook Inlet, Alaska, summarized the
results of several CIRCAC-sponsored environmental momtoring studies that have taken place in Cook
Inlet. The poster also included information about Cook Inlet RCAC's furore environmental monitoring
work that will focus on the collection and analysis of intertidal data around Cook Inlet.
*******Public Outreach*************************************************
The Cook Inlet RCAC informational booth was set up at the annual meeting of the United Cook Inlet
Drift Association on Saturday, July 1, in Kenai. The meeting attracted a large number of Cook Inlet
commercial fishermen, along with representatives from the Department ofFish and Game and the U.S.
Coast Guard.
